This contribution reports ethylene and propylene polymerization behavior of a series of Ti complexes bearing a pair of phenoxy-imine chelate ligands. The bis(phenoxy-imine)Ti complexes in conjunction with methylalumoxane (MAO) can be active catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene. Unexpectedly,

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The catalytic properties of bis(phenoxy‐imine) Zr and Hf complexes incorporating perfluorophenyl groups with methylaluminoxane were investigated. The fluorinated complexes produced far higher‐molecular‐weight polyethylenes and ethylene/propylene copolymers with increased activities compared with the non‐fluorinated congeners. Moreover, the fluorinated complexes displayed a higher incorporation ability for propylene.

## Abstract End‐group analyses of the oligo‐ and polypropylenes produced with bis(phenoxy‐imine) Zr and Hf complexes with methylaluminoxane (MAO) indicate that the polymerization is initiated by two consecutive 1,2‐insertions and is terminated by a __β__‐H transfer following a 2,1‐insertion. Our da
